A standard view is a parking lot view. Your balcony will look out to the parking lot. Very lush vegetation.........beyond that is the parking lot. HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, every few feet going down the hall, are windows (not the gigantic wall of glass) with views of whichever trail you are on. We opened our door and only had to step 2 steps, look out the big window and see animals all day, everyday.
